Description
Request for town streets department to consider placing new 25mph speed limit sign on Longbourn Dr, eastbound in the 400-block between the new Palisades apartment complex and Grace Church Street. Request due to citizen complaints of speeding traffic cutting through to and from Ligon Mill Road. There are no eastbound speed limit signs posted in the area, and the only westbound sign is on Longbourn Dr after Stone Monument Dr but also not in the same area. Request via Ofc. S. Crossan/WFPD Traffic Unit.

The Town of Wake Forest does not use speed bumps or speed tables due to the negative impacts on emergency response and other reasons listed in the Town of Wake Forest Traffic Calming Policy (https://www.wakeforestnc.gov/sites/default/files/uploads/engineering/traffic_calming_policy_update_2020.pdf)
For traffic calming measures to be implemented two Neighborhood Awareness Campaigns need to be conducted before the engineering department can investigate. The Traffic Calming Policy gives details about these campaigns. However, I will reassign this to public works and request that they investigate to see if speed limit signage is missing in the eastbound direction. If you want additional traffic calming measures to be considered, Neighborhood Awareness Campaigns are the first step in that direction.
